Warning: meal prepping every Sunday actually backfired for me

I started doing big Sunday meal prep to save cash. Made 14 chicken and rice bowls one week. By Wednesday I was bored out of my mind, ended up ordering pizza three times that week. Lost $40 on wasted food. Now I only prep 4 days at a time, keeps things flexible. Anyone else find a better balance between saving money and not hating your food?

My wife froze 30 burritos once. We ate them for three months straight. Never again.

30 burritos? That's 10 a month, basically one every three days. That is not that bad honestly. @ryang65 I think you're overreacting a bit here. Unless she used the exact same filling for all of them, then yeah that would get old quick. But if she mixed it up with different meats and beans or whatever, three months is totally doable. I've eaten worse for longer stretches when money was tight.
